When I came home from my trip to the South, guess what was waiting for me at the door? A brand new puppy, only 8 weeks old. Blog fans meet Canela, which means Cinnamon. She is the cutest sweetest thing I´ve ever seen! She is not house trained and we find little "regalitos" on the floor everywhere. However, she is not allowed to be taken outside past the backyard my host mom informed me because there are dog-nappers here and it is dangerous. I tried to suppress the funny thought of someone waiting out in the neighborhood until they spot a dog to take (especially because there are stray dogs in every side of the city) until I found out that it is worth 20,000 pesos (roughly 600 dollars).
So I try to play with Canela often. With a lack of entertainment (the only form was eating the newspaper she was suppossed to be doing her business on) I went out in the city in quest of a dogtoy. It turns out there is only one store that sells them and they only sell toys for giant wolf-sized dogs, which is ironic because the only type of dog that lives here is the chihuahua and other yippee little things. I bought the smallest chew toy there was and the family and Canela were very happy when I returned. Now we spend the evenings tring to play fetch, but she can barely carry it two feet. What a sight to see!
